To: End The Hypocrisy
Were any of us Freepers in Los Angeles a decade ago, or in Watts, CA. during the 1960's, or in any other previously riot-affected cities such as Washington D.C. or Chicago? It's not exactly a pleasant thing to have to be concerned with, is it...

I lived in Detroit when the riots broke out in the 60's.

I was in Mo Town. Believe it or not the 67 riot was not nearly as anti-white as any of the ones in LA.

I can still smell the teargas wafting in the air in the D.C. area, circa 1970.
These memories are on a par with those of 9/11.

At least in Watts the National Guard had live ammo to shoot looters.
Nowadays they just escort them home with their shopping carts FULL of loot!

I was in LA when the riots occured 10 years ago. Was driving daily to North Long Beach via the outskirts of Compton.
With my favorite Sig 229 on my lap.
